Joe Fisher, CEO & Founder

Joe Fisher is the Founder and CEO of First Generation College Bound and a first-generation college graduate who grew up in public housing in Washington, D.C. A former middle school teacher and longtime collegiate coach, Joe founded FGCB in 1990 after seeing first hand the barriers low-income students face in accessing higher education. What excites him most is seeing students not only enroll in college, but graduate and transform the trajectory of their families and communities.
